Van Halen Biographer: `Reunion Should Have Included Anthony'
Van Halen biographer IAN CHRISTE has criticised the group's reunion plans because fans want the original line-up back on the road.
Siblings Eddie and Alex Van Halen will hit the road with original frontman David Lee Roth and Eddie's teenage son Wolfgang later this year (07) - but Christe states bass player Michael Anthony should have been included in the tour plans.
The author, who penned Everybody Wants Some: The Van Halen Saga, tells website BringBackGlam.com, "I think the original four-man Van Halen is what the world wants. It would be great if Wolfie were part of that, or part of a future Van Halen, but everybody wants a little piece of 1977 first.
"Wolfgang could learn a lot from watching the team in action. Of course it's Eddie's decision, and this is a great gift he's giving his son. We will all know before the end of the year whether father knows best."
